What Is The Purpose Of The Gauntlet in Infinity War?

The gauntlet has the ability to create and destroy on a gigantic scale.

For Thanos, Warlock and the Avengers the aim is to retain the gauntlet and use it to bring back Eternity so that the Magus and doppergangers can be destroyed.

To distract the Avengers the double of Mr Fantastic detonates a gamma bomb outside the pizza shop they have met in.

That bomb does not cause as much damage as would have been expected as the explosion is contained by the Invisible Woman and the radiation from the blast is redirected into outer space.

 The Magus and the double of Thanos then launch a surprise attack, giving the heroes the mistaken impression that Magus has formed an alliance with the Titan.

The heroes eventually locate Magus’ base and defeat the dopplegangers who were there and releasing their captive comrades.



Quasar gets there alongside the Ultimate Nullifier, joined later by Doctor Doom and also Kang the Conqueror. Doom and Kang were hoping to gain some power for themselves.

Magus stops the plan to defeat him by capturing Warlock and the gauntlet yet gets wounded himself during the fighting. He then loses the gauntlet to Doom and Kang who want to harness it’s power.

Magus discovers the cubes have been stolen yet still manages to defeat Doom who had already betrayed Kang. Doom attempts to persuade Magus to hand over the gauntlet.

However by that point Eternity has fully recovered and requests that the gauntlet is switched back on, and that request is granted by the Living Tribunal.

The reactivated gauntlet assists Magus in defeating Doom and Quasar is dissolved, and could not be saved by the Ultimate Nullifier.
